Question:

512. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Health if an organisation (details supplied) is a charitable organisation, compliant with public pay policy and with public policy as it relates to Health Service Executive-funded charities on employer contributions to employee pensions; if it has been so compliant since 2004; and if not, the steps that have been taken to remedy this. [9363/14]

Written answers

Minister for Health

The organisation referred to is a Section 39 funded organisation. Staff in such organisations are not classified as public servants, not counted in public service numbers, do not have public service pensions and are not bound by the Department of Health Consolidated Salary Scales.

As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.
